Temple Run 2 Now on Google Play for Android

Kudos to Imangi Studios for showing the Android platform nearly equal love as iOS. Whereas Android users had to wait nearly 8 months before the company's original Temple Run title was ported over from iOS, Temple Run 2, now available in Google Play, took only a week to make the leap, having launched first to iOS on January 17.

Temple Run 2 is a free download with the following features:

Beautiful new graphics

Gorgeous new organic environments

New obstacles

More powerups

More achievements

Special powers for each character

Bigger monkey!!!

The base gameplay is still the same; you swipe left and right to direct your onscreen character, swipe up to jump over obstacles and across ledges, and swipe down to slider under low-hanging obstacles. Simple mechanics, yet addictive like the original.

Temple Rune 2 is already a "smash hit." It's been downloaded more than 170 million times on iOS alone, and is likely to do just as well on Android.
